“No.”

“Then why did mamma say you wouldn’t call?” When Peter made no reply, Leonore continued, “I knew—that is I felt, there was something wrong. What was it?”

“I can’t tell you.”

“Yes,” said Leonore, very positively.

Peter hesitated. “She thought badly of me about something, till I apologized to her.”

“And now?”

“Now she invites me to Grey-Court.”

“Then it wasn’t anything?”

“She had misjudged me.”
